we dont need red shirts - we have Nagarjuna

Is this some kind of personal attack?

I think it's more a compliment. The reds have been the only political party with consistent logic and some long term vision. In sharp contrast to other political parties more worried about a pile of rocks under the sea or brokering lucrative contracts with whoever is ready to play ball or even worse - being immutably ignorant. Close parallels with the Software Patents issue.

certainly not a personal attack - I have differences with Nagarjuna, but he is the one person who almost single-handedly fought the OOXML battle. And he will not change his principles unlike the redshirts who will bend with the wind
